I successfully registered with DeepSeek a few days ago, but due to the Spring Festival holiday filled with many dinners and social engagements, I wasn’t able to update promptly.
Since I am in Singapore, I registered for an overseas account. The process was very smooth and not as troublesome as I had imagined. The Chinese phone number I prepared in advance wasn’t even needed.
Anyway, let me walk you through the process. First, go to the official DeepSeek website – www.deepseek.com. If the interface is in Chinese, you can click the “English” button in the top right corner to switch to the English interface, as shown in the screenshot below:

Click “Start Now” button, and you will be directed to the DeepSeek login/registration page, as shown below:

Then, click “Sign up” to enter the registration page, as shown below:

On this registration page, simply fill in your email address, password, and the verification code sent by DeepSeek. It’s very straightforward.
Later, I tested DeepSeek with the following AMC10 problem:
“The least common multiple of a positive integer n and 18 is 180, and the greatest common divisor of n and 45 is 15. What is the sum of the digits of n?”
DeepSeek quickly provided the correct answer – 6. I remember asking the same question to ChatGPT before, but it didn’t give the correct answer.
In short, compared to other giants in the field, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini, DeepSeek is not only on par but even surpasses them in performance, excelling in certain specific tasks. Moreover, its open-source nature and relatively user-friendly pricing make it accessible to more developers and researchers, which is its unique competitive advantage.
DeepSeek is already in the top tier of the AI field. With its strong technical capabilities, rich application scenarios, and broad market influence, it has secured an important position in the global AI competition. It also contributes unique strength to the development and popularization of AI technology. Its future development is worth our continued attention.
After embarking on this magical journey with DeepSeek, I will also bring you more updates and in-depth explorations of DeepSeek here.
